5 Bodybuilding Tips to heighten Your Bench

The bench press has long been the hallmark of bodybuilders everywhere.  whether you're a novice or seasoned vet, every person wants to enhance their bench. 

I've seen my bench skyrocket in only a few months and I conception it would be a good idea to share with you guys some tips that I've used a long the way. 

Saw Bench

#1 Push to failure on the last set

This ensures that you use every muscle fiber possible.  Your muscles Won't grow as fast as potential if you leave untapped reserves.  Make sure you get a spotter for this set and don't let your ego get you in trouble.

#2 Don't Beat a Dead Horse - Overtraining

I see so many guys overtraining and it makes me cringe.  "Today is chest day" so they do 5 exercises on their chest or train for an hour.  This is insane...don't beat a dead horse!  One or two exercises at the Most are enough if you max out on the last set.  You're doing more harm than good if you keep working on them by allowing less time for recovery.

#3 Turn Up The Heat - Intensity

Now, you have to be careful with this one because this is possibly one of the the most misunderstood bodybuilding tips [http://fitwithmitch.com/bodybuilding-exercises/] of all.  If you don't allow full salvage in the middle of workouts, you'll plateau faster than an airliner reaches cruising altitude.  Once you've allowed full recovery, you should either: add more weight, decrease the time in the middle of sets, or do more reps with the same weight.  Do Not try a aggregate of them...just do one of the 3 to growth the intensity.

#4 You Get Out What You Put In - Nutrition

Everyone knows you have to eat the right stuff and that doesn't mean just a protein shake will do it.  Get a good guide on bodybuilding nutrition and turn your diet from burgers and pizza to chicken and lean meats - proteins are essential, but not the only thing you need. 

#5 You Do It Like This - literal, Form

There's all kinds of grips, tempos, positions...but whatever you choose, make sure it's right for you goals.  Also watch a good video or two on how to do it correctly before you throw your back out!  For instance a 3:1:1 (3 secs down, 1 sec pause, 1 sec press) tempo for 10 reps will allow you build more mass.  

Conclusion 

If you properly incorporate these bodybuilding tips in your workout starting this week, you'll see a turn practically immediately.  Before you know it, you'll push your bench press supplementary than you've ever imagined.
